Center Makeyev proposed to resume the development of reusable rockets "Crown"

Experts of the state rocket center named. Makeev proposed to resume work on the creation of a reusable single-stage rocket with vertical takeoff and landing "Crown". This is stated in the report of the enterprise, which will be presented at the academic readings on space issues. "Conducted a feasibility study and developed an effective timeline for the development of booster.

Investigated the necessary conditions for the creation of the carrier rocket and analyzed the prospects and results in both development and operation of the proposed launch vehicles", – the document says. It is reported that "The rocket will have a launch weight of 280-290 tons and will be designed to launch payloads weighing up to 7 tons with traditional use or up to 12 tons with special scheme launch into low-earth orbit (from the territory of Russia – up to 6 tons and 11 tons respectively), when using a reusable booster stage, a payload can be delivered to a height of 10 thousand kilometres and return back to earth, after which a restart can be done after only a day. " carrier to equip a highly efficient main engines for single-stage rockets, and as the main structural material selected cfrp, "The efficacy of which in the construction of a single-stage missile was tested near design studies". Experts said that the carrier will use only environmentally-safe fuel components, oxygen and hydrogen. ""Crown" can be used in the interests of manned space exploration in the construction of modular space stations and to delivery to them or to the iss.

A comparison with the earlier manufactured models of reusable space technology and proved the correctness of the conducted project studies and high probability of successful establishment of the rocket ("Crown")," – said in the enterprise. The development of missiles "Crown" was conducted by center from 1992 to 2012, the work was stopped for lack of funding.
